Technical Specifications
Bridge:
The Bridge enables you to monitor your home and control
appliances remotely via your Energynote online service.
Energynote is an online service where you can upload data from
your Solo II display to your own webpage to see all the data that
has been stored on your display.
1. Plug the power supply into a mains socket and insert the
other end into the power socket at the back of the bridge.
You can use the USB cable to upload your consumption or
generation data, which the display stores in the internal memory,
to our servers. Once uploaded you will be able to see graphical
information for energy generated or consumed.

Introduction:
The Solo II is an In-Home Display and is used to provide real-time
information on the energy you are consuming or generating. The
Solo II works with a Transmitter, Smart Plugs, Temperature
Sensors and GEO's online services to provide energy information
on a PC, Smartphone, tablet or other internet enabled device.
Operation
The Solo II can be used with 3 different types of sensors.
• CT Clip Sensor • LED Sensor • P1 Sensor.
Your Solo II will auto detect which sensor you are using.

1. Locate your mains live cable, this is usually identified by the
colour brown, red or the letter “L”.
The LED Sensor can be used to monitor either your electricity
consumption or PV generation.
The P1 Sensor does not use any batteries for the transmitter
and is powered directly from the meter.
2. Clip the sensor around the mains live cable. You should hear
a “click” to indicate the sensor has been tightly closed.
1. Find the pulse output on your meter.
3. Plug the other end of the CT Sensor cable to the bottom of
